tures to ask "when the Secretary's going to take

mei by a significant shrug of the shoulders, Indi
cating that the whole affair has gone to the tomb

again, however, there is no doubt the President

CLILINSON GOING ON AN ELECTIONERRMG TOUR.
Now that it is certain Congress will be here
next week, the President's confidential friends
are giving out that he intends making an excur
sion to Tenavace for ten days or two weeks, go
!cg by way of New Fork. It Is not believed here
that he seriously intends making such a trip; but
if he does it will be nothing else than amelec
tioncering dodge, by which he hopes to revive
the drooping spirits of the Democracy of Penn
sylvania and New York, because it is well known
that if he goes on a tour of this sort, he will be
accoreoamed by all the "pomp and circumstance"
of glorious receptions, provided die Democracy
have hinds and spirit enough to getup receptions
In his honor. The eircurnismalibiatf, by way of

TILE SEWS FROM MAME
bas completely elettrifted,ttut Republicans here,
and filled them with hope and confidence for the
future. Everybody now looks forward with
bright anticipations as to what Pennsylvania will
do on the second Tuesday of October, and twenty
times a day I am accosted with: "What's the Old
Keystone State going to do is October? If yon,
carry the October eleetion," np with the
Democrats, for they will scarcely make a show of
opposition in November." I am strong In the
faith that Pennsylvanktwill do her duty nobly in
October for the Republican ticket, and my Inva
riable answer to these questions is, that "it is all
sell"—by at least 15,000 to 30,000 majority. I
earnestly hope my predictions will not tall short
of the mark.
. The reaction caused by the news froM Maine
among the clerks who are usually. counted "on
the fence" was most remarkable. Nearly all of
them to-day wore Grant and Colfax recitals on
the breasts of their coats, as a sign that they
were members of the great National Republican
party. , While . I would. not doubt their fidelity.
It is safe to Say that if the result in Maine had
been different, there is some probability that
many , who now sport Grant and Colfax medals
would be equally as conspicuous in displaying
the likenesses of Seymour and Blair. This is
human nature the world over—so why should
we complain as long as the patriotic clerks in
tend to "vote right" at the next election?
FRANK ni—un's vrsrr TO PHILADELPHIA.
Just now the Democrats are very much con
cerned about Philadelphia, which they are
afraid of "losing," as they express it, and it was
arranged that Prank Blau was to come to your
city on Tuesday to stir up the faithful. He tele
graphed to his father that he would be in Phila
delphia on the 15th inst., and a delegation went
on from this city to invite him to come to Wash
ington, where a grand reception was promised
him; but the delegation,af ter makinc a-short trip
to Philadelphia, returned this morning; consider
ably disappointed because ho did not come to

The Town „ of Quancy Destroyed.
A Quincy despatch to the Savannah News says:
Our beautiful town has been visited with one
of the mostdisastrEms - firce - ttuitifatceVellifaii:-
pened to any town in the State.. with the excep
-tion, probably, of - the great - flre thatoccurred in
Tallahassee some twenty years ago.
Yesterday evening, about half-past six o'clock,
while Mr. T. IL. -- Jones - main the - act - of draynng
fluid or petroleum from a barrel, which he had
lately introduced, the gas ignited with a _candle
near by, and it was but a few minutes before the
entire building was enveloped in flames. The
buildings on either side being of, wood, they too
only added fuel, and nothing could be done to
save them, as the town is without an engine.
Soon every building on the east side of the square
was one vast sheet of flame, and the heat became
so intense that, in suite of the efforts of the citi
zens,
the large building owned by Mr. T. Bmith
took tire, and with it the building belonging to
the estate of. F. Fleishman.
The Commonwealth office was in the building of
Mr. T. Smith, and is totally destroyed. Nothing
was saved.
The following is a list of- tbe -sufferers:—A. M.
Nathans, store-honse; I. R. Harris, store-house
and stock of goods; store-honse of T. Smith;
store-house of 'William Spencer, W. R. Bandon,

Sol - moor Fails to Enthuzelon a Victory
New York 'Sun says
General H. E. Paine, member of Congress
from the First District of Wlsconsin,.ls the
author of tho followldg statement':
When the news of tire fall of -, Sumter was
reeeived in this city Governor 'Smour was
stopping at the Newhall House. The elty,On the
receipt of that news was ablaze with hullgrurtion, ,
and Demoerataand Republicans alike burned - to
avenge the insult that had been - . offered our
flag. A meeting of business inen,'lriespective of
party, was held - at the Chamber of Commerce,
and stirring addresses ' were imide. Every
volee was for war. Some one men
tldued .the fact that Governor Seymottr was in
town, and it was at once resolved to have a speech
frdm him. One of our - rnOst highly respected
citizens—a personal acquaintance of Seymour's
--hastened to infer& him of the •intended call.
He was found in the ladles' parlor of , Me hotel,
received the Milwaukee" gentleman most cor
dially, and represented .himself. in the best of
beOlth. But, when informed that, the crowd
would presently-call' upon him fora,speedy, he
promptly replied that he should not respond.
-But you must,' replied his friend. 'The
crowd'- not take no .for' an
answer.'. 'I shall not do it,' said Sey
mour, I don't know how this thing 18 going to
turn, and I shall not speak. - Yon - must , tell_ the
crowd that lam sick and cannot respond.' The
Slilwankeean refused to tell this falsehood, and
turned and left the 'great statesnian.! Shortly
after, another ,of his acquaintances, also a gentle
man of high standing in this community, waited
upon him with the same errand. He found Soy-
mom in his room sick, was fairly deceived by. his
cotipterfeitillness, and left him. Shortly after-
IV ala, a committee of gentlemen called upon the
Governor and fairly dragged him out,upon the ,
balcony. He simply thanked . the crowd for the
compliment, and excused himself from speaking
on the score of sickness."

Bluth Democratic .Proselytization in
South Carolina:
[From the Charleston Newe of the 12th.l
A t a great Democratic tting held at the
Charleston Hotel last night, GM. John B. Gor
don, of Georgia, during his speech took occasion
to address the colored people in the 'audience.
He addressed them in plain colloquial style, ex
po Sing Radical falsehoods, and warning them
against the evil advice of men who tried . to stir
np 'ill feeling between them rind the white people
of the South. .He told them the Northern people
had owned theft' fathers as slaves, and if they had
set them free for love, the freedom would have
been accorded them then, and they themselves
might have been born free and have already
owned the forty acres of land the lying scoun
drels had promised them. He gave them an ac
count of Helper and his book, and pointed out
to them its bearing on the questions of the war
of races and the extermination of the blacks. He
warned them against the consequences of turning
a deaf ear to all that the Southern gentlemen
told them, and declared to them that if they con
tinued to listen to and heed the ennuis of de
signing bad men "the leaves on the trees now
erten would not be turned red by the autumn
freest before they would be stained with, the blood
of the white man and the black."
Gen. ELlipatriek: In the Field.
At North Orange, New JerseY, last night, a
graniL- meetingL_ofßepublicans -- wad - held at the
"Tannery," to witness the reception_of General
Judson Kilpatrick, the leader= of Sherman's cav
alry. The General was met at the depot by Mr.
Theron Baldwin, President of the Grant and Col
fax Legion of Orange, and was escorted to
the . "Tannery" by the Grant and Colfax
Legion and the Pion the members of
the 'escorting party bearifig torches and illu
minations. At the ball. which was hand
somely and uniquely, deedrated with festoons
of flags, evergreens and flowers, the Gen
eral was received with round after round of ap
plause. When this had ceased ' two campaign
1-ruts from the "Radical Drum Call" wore sung
by the Glee Club, a patriotic air was played • by
a band from Newark, and a battle piece eulogis
tic of Kilpatrick 'and his troopers was recited.
Gen. Xilpatrick was then introduced. His
speech was delivered with a vim and decision
that coincide with his character as <a soldier,
and was frequently, interrupted --- by
the enthusiasm of the audience. -
Gen. Kilpatrick said that when in 1864 the Gov
'ernor of New Jersey refused 'to permit the 33d
Regiment of New Jersey to vote for whom they
saw fit, he promised them that when again at
borne no man who had sympathy with rebels
shodla hold place or position in the Nation if he
,eould help it. He had now returned to redeem
his Pledge. He rejoiced to see that. although the
Republican party bad suffered-some few defeats,
and',had witnessed the defection of =some of
their 'formerly most . respected representa
tives, ' they still persevered to' struggle
for (freedom and equality' for 'one and all.
Though absent from the , United States he had
still been surrounded by ellizentrof a 'Republic;
our firm and faithful allies, who look upon the
Great Republic as the greatest and only bulwark
of freedom in the world. When our victory of

Rebellion, , The _ Democracy promised that if
Lincoln was elected they would plunge the coun

determined_ to' rule or rnin ; . but, thank - God,
they hive only the latter for themselves. When
Mr. Lliatolawtta elected, the littlit Fort Sumter,
with .int-Airrison of 80 men, was attaeked by
forts and. batteries manned by 5.000 of the
Chivalry. This commenced hostilities, and the

'Mg Of the organization of a band of Republican
Irishmen in North' , Orange, the General said
that so long as the Irish , people had identified
themselves with the pro-Slavery, Democracy
-the 'Republican Administiation could not trust
them.. Be ' sympathized with them as
victims of oppression, but they bad in'a free

desired to.see Irelands Republic governed by the
Irish people,and when the Itishrmei proved - their
sincerity in a Republican cause he would give
them his word and sword to aid their cause. At
the conclusion of his Speech, the General was
rapturously cheered, and as the meeting broke
up was escorted to the depot by a torchlight pro
cescion.
The Banner of the South contains the following
bold declaration of the virtue of the " Lost

" With shame and regret, we have noticed that
not a few of our public speakers, and very many
of our Southern journals, {when discussinglhe
political questions pending before the people,
allude to our past.when they allude to it at ail,
In a tone of apology. We protest SgainSt such
apologies, and we haveless respect than .we
wthdellike to say for such apologists. To speak
or write of the cause of the South in an apolo
getic tone may possibly, just now, be the best
policy;but we,for eme,scorn such policy. We would
not abate one iota of the hiatory.of that past to
please, any party or to win any. political victory.
Better bejust than successful- If there were any
thingin that past to bring the blusleof shame to,
our cheeks.--if there did not-eletirly . exist
on our side—then, indeed, there might be reason
enough for apology and
"No—we have nothing to apologize for;
nothing to ask pardon for. There is nothing in
connection with our Cause to be , ashamed of ; and
we ousht,tope far too proud to make an act ~of
coitrificni'for daring' put on" the suit or grey.'
Away,-thent with apologies! When you speak 'of
the South,sand .ber People, and her Cause, use
brave' words; .do not lower your tone, and sacri
fice not a single glory or principle of the past, to
any or all the policies of the present. Conces
sion 'to ihepresentds Oftentimes 'aposlacy from
the past. If you are to choose between:them, for
the Bake of the dead that hallow our land es they
have hallowed .four ' history, prefer the past.
If political triumphs, in the" Present, are to be
won, at the expense of our love for the Paat,,let
such triumphs, a thousand times, be lost. For
God's sake, let us not worship mere succeaS—it
is a mean rellglim unworthy of a • man. Let ,us ,„
exhibit a nobler sprit; let us stoop to no nnwOr
tby means, in or ei.to achieve political victories.
Right defeated is better than' Wrong victorious.
And the man of the South, who dares to `apolo

most heinous of all treasons—treason against
our Great Past and our Honored Dead. But more
of this anon."

AT rime AnClT—Last evening the Etchings
Troupe gave Anber's grand opera Crown Dia
,
monde to a crowded house, The representation
was in every respect satisfactory. Whatever dif
ference of opinion there may be upon the qnett
lien of the , capabilities of the individual artists o f
the company, it cannot be disputed that in precL.
Mon and exactness the Etchings troupe surpass
all rivals. In anything they attempt, they give
evidence of the best training. There is ner m an e '
fiaw, a mistake, or a stumble. The perfor
'progresses with the absolute accuracy and steadi-:
nese of a nice piece of machinery. This was erni
bently the case last night ; and there was, more
over, such attention to the details of costume, by
play, elcc., that nothing was to be deeired in the
mechanical execution of the piece.
In an'artistie sense, also, the performance was
excellent., Perhaps the palm of highest; praise
'should be awarded to .Mrs. Seguin, who person
ated "Diana" and Sang With more than usual
sweetness. There are few rules' in which this
charming actress is not acceptable; but in the
beautiful music of Oman _Diamonds she is espe-
Malty good. It is perhaps unfair , to give her all
the praise. Mies Etchings as "La Catarina," Mr.
Henry Peakes as "The Count," Mr. Castle;as
' "Ilenrique," Mr. Campbell as "Rebolledo." Mr,
Bernard as "Don Sebastian," Mr. James Peaken
as "Muguos." all did ample justice to their re
spective parts, and the applause lavishly bestowed
upon them proved the high appreciation of the
audience. • •
This evening Albert Lortzlng's comic opera,
"The Czar and Ximmerman; or, Peter the Cream,
Saardam," will be given' for the first time in _Eng
lish in this city. This opera has been adapted
for the English stage by Miss Richines herself- - a
statement which is sufficient guarantee of the
excellence of the adaptation. For the informa
tion of our readers we append a brief synopsis
of the plot:
The characters are:
Peter the Great, wider the mistimed name o f
Peter Michaelow. a carpenter.
Peter Ivanoff, a Russian carpenter.
Van Bett, Burgomaster of Saardam.
Mary, his niece. ;-
Mrs. Brown.
Admiral Lefort, Russian Ambassador.
Lord Syndham, English Ambassador.
Marquis De Chateauneuf, French Ambassador .
The argument is as follows:
"Peter the Great, Emperor of all the Rtu3slas,
and Peter Ivanoff, a deserter from the Russian
army, work both as carpenters in the employ of
Mrs. Brown, in Saardam. The ambassadors of
France and England, being advised of the pre
sence of the Czar dieguised as a carpenter, try to
find him out, and either to enter with him into
some treaties advantageous to their nations, or,
in case of failure, to seize him by force and carry
him off to their countries. Lord Sandham, the
English ambassador, employs the stupid, self
conceited Burgomaster of Suardam to find for
him a Russian by the name of Peter, without tell
ing him, however, his real character. The. Mayor
goes to work, but happens to fall in with Ivanoff,
the deserter, whom he Wage before the English
ambassador. Lord Syndham, believing him to
be the Czar, tries to arrange some treaties with
him, and finally gives him a passport with ,
which he might safely, get over to England. Tee
people of Saardam, being told that the Czar is in
their midst, prepare for ,Ivanoff, the supposed
Czar, a pnbile reception.
"In the Mesta time the French ambitesador has
found out the real Czar, by telling him a story of
a Russian defeat, which makes him betray him
self, and succeeds in all his diplomatic objects.
The Czar, whose presence -at home is needed'to
crush a rebellion against his throne, -is looking
for some means to get sway unobserved and un
mob sted by the Hollandlsh authorities and Eng
liah cruisers.‘ Seeing by chance 'tho passport that
the English ambassador gave to Ivanoff he seizes
it as the only chance of escape giving Ivanoff
another paper instead, which he (Ivan) must not
open before one hour has palmed. Daring this
time the people of Saardam give the supposed
Czar (Ivan) a public reception. Iu the middle of
the festival cannon shots are heard, the door
leading to the port is opened, and the Czar, in
company with Lelort and Chateauneuf, aro seen
on the deck of a departing vessel. Ivanoff opens
the paper and finds that Peter fdichaelow was
the (,zar, who gives him (Ivanoff) a good shun.
tion and consents to his marriage with Wary."

At Tire Ameniceor—to-night a miscellaneous
performance will be given.
Ma. CARL BENTZ has wisely determined to in
augurate a second series of those etartnine or
chestral matinees which afforded so much
pleasure last winter to the lovers of good music.
In his circular the manager says :
"The past season,lB67-68,has bean regarded as
one of the most disastrous to managers and pro
jectors of public amusements—only those MC
seeding which, on the one hand, pass( seed mwe
_than ordinary intrinsic merit, or, on the,other,
appealing to a vitiated taste, depended upon
sensational attractions of questionable pro
priety. It is, therefore, with a just pride
in art, that the success of the Orchestra
Matinee is referred to; for it settles" conclusively
that their novel and pecttliar features of pro
gramme have been appreciated and approved.
Whatever doubt was telt before the commence
ment of the series, ty the admirers of that form
of musical composition knciwn' as Symphony,
was soon dispelled by_ the enthusiasm with, which
'the grand works of Haydn and Mozart were re
ceiveti by large audiences representing-all-classes
of society. So satisfactory and assuring are these
evidences,that the design foreshadowed in the an
nouncement of last year,'of producing sympba
nies by' Beethoven' and other great masters, will
now be carried into execution; for; in additicinlo
symphonies by Haydn and Mozart, other than
those already given, the repertoire of, the coming
season will be enriched by the First, Eighth and
Tenth of Beethoven, (otherwise known as the
Battle of Vittoria,) the Unfinished Sym
phony of Schubert, a work of transcendent
beauty, and the , celebrated Reformation Sym
phony of Mendelssohn, which bas created a
marked sensation in musical circles Wherever it
has been performed.", •
The first matinee will be given on Thursday,
Oct. Bat Concert Hall. The terms are as fol
lows: 'Subscription ticket, admitting to 30 con
certs, $5;• 'single admission. 50e; package of four
tickets, Si. To be had at W. H. Boner & Co 's
